MERCHANT SHIPPING REGISTRY
1. Much regret delay in reply. DTI tell us
that no immediate changes are comtemplated in
the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act
affecting either the nationality requirement
of examinations for certificates or foreign
qualifications for service in British ships.
Even if any such changes were decided upon now
as a matter of policy it would take anything from
18 months to 2 years to bring them about.
2.
We understand also that your Merchant
Shipping (Aliens Employment) Ordinance no longer
places more stress on British nationality than
UK legislation since the latter was amended by
the Merchant Shipping Act 1967. The British
nationality requirement now extends to every ship
